Know someone who's facing the holidays down on their luck; maybe lost a job, can't really "afford" to get into the holiday spirit? If so, a group of college students want to get to know them too so they can be part of "Operation Santa."

The students are members of UCSD's ALPHA PHI OMEGA, a national Community Service Organization. Their goal is to bring Christmas to those who simply can't afford it this year, for whatever the reason. They're looking for families in need and they need to know about them quick because their deadline is this Sunday, November 22.
